To call the tour page at Secret Friends enticing would be an understatement. It has promises of 5,000+ models, daily live events, and an archive of over 12,000 "premium XXX videos" and more pouring in daily. The online models look hot, and the promise of 5 free credits with sign-up are almost too much to resist.

Once logged in, I was inundated with a horde of super sexy Secret Friends. I counted nearly 100 live feeds, and just over 1,800 performers altogether. Figures like that are nothing to sneeze at — particularly on a lazy Sunday morning . . . .

One thing you'll learn right off the bat(preferably not the hard way) is that if the little box on the thumbnail isn't green, you don't want to click that girl's feed. Not unless you're willing to immediately dish out however many credits per minute she costs, anyway.

They have filters for models, and teens, MILFs, curvy gals, couples, and tattooed bad-girls seem to rule the roost. All of them, mind you, supplied with a seemingly unlimited selection of skin-tight outfits and labia-stretching sex-toys. On that note, it's almost Halloween as I write this, which means I got an even closer peak at those wardrobe closets than I usually would have. I've witnessed all manner of spook, specter, and spirit playing with themselves. Why, I saw the devil herself ride a sybian. At least that's who she told me she was . . . .

As you've likely already guessed, prices vary. Sometimes you can get a great deal, though. I spotted a few barely legal models who were only 1 credit per minute, and one of 'em who was more than willing to get naked before going to the private 1-on-1 chat.

Credits are as straight forward as it gets: 25 credits cost $25 dollars, 75 credits cost $75 dollars, 100 credits cost $100 dollars — are you noticing the pattern that's starting to develop here? You'd think they'd give you a deal for purchasing in bulk, and they do, but only if you purchase $150 bucks worth of credits. Your reward? A whopping $5 bucks. Better than nothing, I suppose, but it's hardly going to entice me to spend the big bucks.

And you'll really need them with some models costing upwards of 3 credits-per-minute. Don't worry, though. A frugal viewer can benefit greatly here. I, myself, have spotted a few real gems that were more reasonably priced. Why, no more than a half hour ago I saw a hot teen priced at a mere 1 credit-per-minute.

Keep in mind, however, that there are levels. You can pay to watch the girl and have it so only you can give her commands in chat, but if you really want things to heat up, most models are going to insist that you go into the VIP 1-on-1 sessions, and that is going to cost extra. So, choose your models wisely, and try to squeeze every bit of hotness you can out of those credits.

Unless, of course, you just don't care whether it's live or not, which is a straight position to take if you are signing up for a webcam site. Even so, don't run off just yet. Credits can be spent on prepaid shows, supposedly the crème de la crème uploaded at the end of each week.

Recording prices are based on running times, with 1 minute sometimes costing as much as 3 credits if the show is deemed particularly boner-inspiring. Thankfully, there seems to be a trend for longer scenes being more reasonably priced.

Case in point: a rather hot show just last week featuring Regina dressed up as a bunny that ran just under 25 minutes, and it's selling for the much more reasonable by comparison price of 15 credits. Going this route could ultimately save you a lot of bucks, but I think for most it could never replace the thrill of a live show with solid interaction.

Secret Friends has a lot of hot European models to choose from, ranging from teen to MILF, most of which more than happy to get you off. Like any cam site, there's a bit of trial and error here, and it can be costly. Whether or not this particular batch of beauties looks to be worth it or not is up to you. Personally, I think they've got enough underpriced sleepers to make for a good hunting ground. But don't just take my word for it. Signing up is free, and they even throw in 5 credits to get you started.
